The hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the hepatitis B virus (HBV) are leading causes of chronic liver disease. An estimated 130 to 150 million people have chronic hepatitis C infection worldwide. 1 In high endemic areas, where 3/4 of the world’s population live, 70 to 90% of the population becomes HBV-infected and 8 to 20% of those are HBV-carriers. 2 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common clinical condition characterized by significant deposition of lipid droplets in the hepatocytes of individuals without a history of alcohol abuse.
Even when significant precompression is applied leading to a poor elastogram, the quality factor or compression bar can suggest a good elastogram was obtained. Usually a small amount of precompression (10–20%) is used to obtain B-mode images as it improves B-mode image quality. 4 Strain Elastography Using ARFI An ultrasound pulse can be reflected or absorbed (attenuated), or it can transfer its momentum (it can push). This transfer of energy causes tissue to move. Increased energy in the ultrasound beam creates increased force and hence movement.
This function is helpful in confirming the location of a lesion in the elastogram or in the B-mode image. The use of a copy or shadow function can help in confirming the location of a lesion noted on one image but not easily seen on the other. This function allows you to measure a lesion and have the measurement placed in the identical position in the other image. In this example, the dotted yellow line with the x’s is the actual measurements of the lesion. The dotted yellow line without the x‘s is the copied measurement from the other image.
